Diztonic case + cheap screen protector

I want the option to sell it so I want to keep the screen scratch free.

Going to get my Nexus 5 tomorrow. I have the Diztronic Voyeur TPU case and some cheap screen protector from Amazon on order.

[Nexus 5 General] :
I ordered the official case from Google. My stepdad said it's a s*** case but I like it. Not the most protective but I try and be careful with my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] vboyz103:
Initially I used rubber protection but did not feel the full effect upon contact. So I was like wth..I then went naked and felt so good since then. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Yaminashi:
Lightly protected. When I say lightly I mean no bulky cases.

I always need to have a screen protector on and a thin TPU case.

Although I'd love to rock my nexus naked, I don't want to risk any damage. Especially if I ever plan on selling it. Mint always seems to sell easier than slightly worn

Was naked but carried in a pouch. I have now put ghost armour on it. I don't like cases so Zagg/Ghost armour is as much as I'd put on a phone

Even though it pained me to cover up this beautiful device, I had to put a case on it. Preferably TPU. :)

Now protected after one week without any cover! But this one is so thin that the beauty of Nexus is the same if it would be naked!

Is this english?? Ahahah sorry i'm from Italy lol

I've always said, I don't understand buying a thin phone, them making it fat with a case. Mine is always used without case.

Saying that, I have dropped it 5 times, few chunks missing from the corners, was about an inch away from it falling into a 12 foot drain, and I think the latest drop right onto a rail has broke the OIS, but I will never use a case!!
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Now that is dedication. The way I see it, a thin phone means with the case it will be thinner than a non thin phone with a case. That is to say, there is still benefits in having thinner phones when using a case.

Well, after the letters fell off the back and the sides started cracking I got a warranty, and I went ahead and got the Snap case from Google to protect the replacement a bit better. Not overly thrilled, but it's a nice case and the phone has a more solid feel to it now.
[Nexus 5 General] Reinvented:

although the phone feels super nice with no case, it just feels way too delicate to NOT want to put a case on it.

[Nexus 5 General] Qwerty1208:
Have had a Spigen Screen Protector only for about 5 months now, with a thin case on it now and then. Not really comfortable with having a case on it but sometimes when I know I might get into situations where it could be useful I put it on.

However a few days ago I decided to rip the screen protector off. Never had any scratches on my previous phones, and it won't protect against cracking. Nude it is!
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
I use Ringke and Spigen clear cases most of the time, and a screen protector. I want it to be perfect looking when I go to sell it at the end of this year or early next year. And with a clear case, it allows me to still show off my red N5.

[Nexus 5 General] aakelly20:
Naked right now.... Might do a screen protector tho. Cases always make the phone soooooo much bigger. I love the way this one feels so hopefully I can keep it naked.
[Nexus 5 General] Vincent Vegas:
Nude for me.
[Nexus 5 General] TemplesOfSyrinx:
Went naked with the original Motorola Droid. Went naked with the Verizon Gnex. Now running around naked with the Nexus 5. I really don't see the point in covering up any phone with a case or putting a piece of thin plastic over gorilla glass.

My OG droid and Gnex are still in great shape to this day. I have had each of them since the day they were released.

The Nexus 5 feels a lot more sturdy naked, but I'll be getting a screen protector and case and soon as possible.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
I usually go naked all the time but the N5 almost feels like it was built with a case in mind (protruding camera lens, fairly harsh lip around front screen), so I'll be grabbing one of those cool red official cases once available. looks small while still protecting the camera and screen while on flat surfaces
[Nexus 5 General] can6rxw:
This! This is the exact reason I bought a case this weekend. It's the one that has the black bumper with the clear see through back. That way, the sides are protected and the backing protects the camera (adds enough material so the camera is not touching the table when flat) and I can see that sexy white back with Nexus written on it.:good:
[Nexus 5 General] m3lover1:
I have a screen protector and also have spigen ultra fit. Currently have to protector on for now and naked. Will use case after couple of weeks
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Naked and protected. :good:

When I liberated my old Samsung Monte from it's case - Oh My Gawd what a different experience it was! So much lighter and easier to handle. The only thing I'm putting over any phone now is screen protector, although I am beginning to believe it's not necessary either unless I'm super clumsy or carry large particle sand and sharp objects together with the phone in my pocket... which I don't.

I am protecting the phone, and you should be the hard case too, attention and care is the best way to protect your gadgets.
[Nexus 5 General] RankWinner:
I use a case and screen protector, not taking any chances with it since I plan on using this phone for a good 4 years.
[Nexus 5 General] finalrequiem:
Since it looks like I'll be getting white shipped first, instead of the black device I ordered on Nov 1st, I'll def have it in a case.

Also, I have two toddlers at home and I work in the construction industry. Case is a must for me.

Protected

I just ordered Nexus 5 from Google Play, and I plan to get a couple cases to try out when it arrives. I'm pretty good with my phones, been rocking a Droid Razr au natural for 23 months with only minor scuffs on the corners, but I want to protect the resale value of the Nexus. I plan to use it to help offset the purchase of my next device in a year. Now that I'm breaking free of the Verizon lock-in, I plan to upgrade my phone whenever I feel the urge.
[Nexus 5 General] RacerX780:
For now, naked.

My last phone, a HTC, I used to drop all the time... esp. when working. Never had it break or anything. But this phone feels like it probably could not take a fall like the HTC. So at some point, I might get a case.

I'm just trying to be careful with it. I might see if there are any kind of belt cases or something.... my HTC I used to just keep in my shirt pocket, and it was smaller then the N5...so it would slide out fairly often. I don't want that to happen with the N5.

I use a Spigen Slim Armor ( black ) and would never use the phone without protection. I´ve tripped once and it landed on its back, the case has no scratches and the phone is still in perfect working condition without any marks. I also have big hands since I´m not a small person so I don´t care about some extra bulk..

The only time I use a device without protection is when I play some stuff on my Nexus 7 ( 2013 ), most the time I carry it in a durable smart cover :p
[Nexus 5 General] pogi1100:

So now I'm using a Ringke Ultra Fit Case. I don't like a lot because it's a fingerprints magnet. I use the black one.

Now I've ordered a generic quicksand case. Almost a dollar. I'm sure is well invested.

This phone is an investment for me. Need to last another 18 months or so. These demands a case. I use a Cruzerlite case along with Nilikin Screen protector. Just when I am home, safe in the comfort of a bed and want to 'feel' the phone naked, I take the covers off.
[Nexus 5 General] TXRaunchy:

I just want to see how durable it is before I decided to take my matte protector off.

I have the White Nexus 5 and I use a screen protector on it. Right now it has a ton of scratches and I'd imagine some of it would have been on the actual screen if I didn't have the screen protector on. I do have a case but I usually don't use it unless I go out.

Hi, since I like to always feel the plain phone in my hand, I use mine with a screen protector and a pull tab pouch like the one on the picture. It's a two-way solution for me, since it protects the phone, but doesn't get in the way while using it. You should be more careful though. I have tried silicon back protectors too, they are good and all, but started to hate the bulk they add to the phone's design. Nevertheless, the Nexus 5 has an awesome surface feel ^^.

Screen protector and case from day one.
[Nexus 5 General] dberend:
I had a case on mine for about two months. Removed it after thinking back to my last few phones and their durability.

My Moto RAZR M was a beast that survived several drops that should have been fatal. To a lesser extent the GS3, GS2, OG Droid, Droid X and Evo3d were pretty durable. Only the original Evo broke under stupid circumstances, in my back pocket when I lightly grazed a door frame.

So, I decided to take the risk and go naked. It's so worth it. Especially when my GF's N5 wearing a monstrosity of pink and black rubber and plastic cracked from a knee level drop. Side note the crack seriously weakened the glass because she squeezed it after a conversation with her ex husband and killed it.
